Iraq War

Years ago I wrote an article about us going over to Iraq, that it would be one of the worst decisions we ever made. Now instead of coming home and protecting our borders, they want to spend three more years over there?

Thousands went to the streets to demonstrate. They said they were better off before we went over there. We're not only causing casualties but we're spending billions of dollars while they're keeping all the money they make from oil.

Instead of fighting al Qaeda, now we have to watch our backs on the very ones we went over to protect. I also said Russia could be one of our biggest enemies, now we also have Chavez from Venezuela.

Russia is so upset with us because we're going to put the missile defense system in Poland. Chavez wants Russia to help them to build a nuclear reactor. They spent $4 billion in Russian arms, fighter jets and helicopters. Russian warships already went into Venezuela.

We'd better come home now and watch out for Chavez! He's getting very dangerous. We gain nothing by staying over in Iraq.
